What ship do you have planned for multicrew?

Hello all.

It won't take too long for 2.3 to hit live and I was wondering what is people ship of choice to use in MC.

I will play with my brother and a friend, and since they are fairly new to the game they don't have the credits to get a ship with enough firepower to play the three of us at the same time.

I was planning on gearing my Gunship with four turreted burst lasers for the gunner and a fighter bay for the other player while I use the large and small hardpoints for forward fire. Does it sound fun to you if you were to man the turrets? Burst lasers sound good or should I choose another type of weapon? Should I go full turrets while I pilot the ship and ram them to death?

Regards.

I bought a Cutter a while back. Primarily as a bulk trader for CGs and such.

Its shields are pretty good (for the moment) and I put Turrets on all but two of the hardpoints. I have three Turret size 2 MC, two turret size 3 burst lasers, one gimbal size 4 MC and one gimbal size 2 beam.

I will try out Multi-crew when 2.3 comes out. Based on the videos of the beta that I've watched, I'm not sure if I'll do it much. I enjoy flying fighters(FdL, Vulture, etc) over cruisers(conda/vette). I imagine the Cutter will not be fun.

Go full turrets! Then you'll have the fun of trying to follow their vague, shouted instructions about which direction to fly :)

First: gunship currently has only two seats, so you wont be able to play it with two other player at the same time
second: Adder... i am planning my first MC experience to be in an adder :D

Personally, after spending all this time in the helm, I'd like to sit in the 2nd chair of the Asp, get a different POV.

None. I refuse to trust the hull of a ship i own to anyone but me. Myself and VAC are perfectly capable of handling any combat situation that might arise.

Well, this just crushed my plans :( After doing a quick google search it seems the only ships to use with three CMDRs are the Three Big, the T9 and the Beluga. Since I don't really feel like using any of the big three I guess we will just go exploring on the Beluga.

Damn it.

I am just going to whack my two beam turrets back on my Python for multi-crew. But honestly, I foresee myself being crew on my friend's "Big 3" ships, more than hosting a crew on my Python. I don't intend to open up multi-crew to randoms.

Dry runs : Keelback
- permit MC members to setup Controls (which will take alot of time) and get comfy with all basic functions and limitations

Hot runs : Corvette, later possibly a Cutter

Personal interest in joining as a "Teleporting CMDR Q" magic Crewmember-on-demand : NIL

Can't you fit turrets and fighters on the Beluga?

You can, but it will feel weird going to a CZ or a RES with it. It would be like going to the atlantic ocean to sink U-boats with the Titanic.

None, 3rd person combat and handwavium implementation is for another genre, not the one I play.

Please. I also have my issues with some of the MC mechanics, but let's keep this on topic just for once.

Think of it as more like a Q-ship (and hope they do too :) )

...and wasn't the Titanic unsinkable? Sounds like the perfect weapon [wink]

All my ships will be open for tag along if someone wants to sit there and watch.
I have a few ships for HazRes, Conda, FDL, Vulture. But i dont HasRes that often as it gets dull.

I have a friend in Colonia at the moment so i might jump into his ship for some exploration and he hasnt seen the Alien ruins around the bubble so he can join me for some sight seeing. Then i imagine the novelty will run dry.

Better than combat, Back Seat Driving!
